Affordable Home Decor Trends 2014

Affordable Shortcuts to the Season's Hottest Design Trends

After scoping out the stylish offerings at last month's ICFF and Wanted Design, I left with a new decor wish list for my "someday house." From gemstone-shaped cocktail tables to gold marbled wall coverings — these exquisitely crafted finds, understandably, don't come cheap. While they're certainly worth saving for, I've uncovered some clever DIYs and unbelievable deals for design enthusiasts with smaller budgets. Check out the five I'm eyeing for an instant home refresh!

When I spotted these tables by Debra Folz at Wanted Design, it was love at first sight. Priced between $1,600-$2,400, though, they may never make it home with me.

Enter my gemstone mistress: these gorgeous soaps! At $20 a pop, they're a glamorous addition to any bathroom — not to mention a fail-proof hostess gift.

Who wants a boring rectangle mirror when you can have a hip triangle mirror? Moving Mountains' A-framed mirror added instant cool and function to the booth at ICFF. The only catch? They are in limited production, and you must contact them to request a price.

This high-quality gold marble paper will set you back $7 for a 20"x29" sheet. Try using it for smaller projects — like lining the back of your bookshelves!

I discovered these vintage-inspired folding chairs ($150 each) by Izzy Million at ICFF. They come in all sorts of fun seat covers — from lizard-embossed leather to colorful Navajo prints and are a dream come true if you have a small space or love to entertain.
